RB Bucky Irving, TB (2 Viewers)

[Uncle Leo]

Bucky and Pollard are two guys last year that were on the injury report a whole lot but they both always played. Just want to give some hope out there to folks that own Bucky.

 

[crushedspirit]

The MRI was yesterday... correct?

Is it strange to not have any update by now? I can't even find speculation on what body part is of concern.

Might of been during the highly questionable fumble play where it looked like his left ankle got rolled up as he was dragged down by a hip drop tackle that wasn't called from behind, but then again this was before the 72 yard TD reception. He also took a shot to the ribs and stayed down for a bit before returning. It could be a recurring turf toe issue, so who knows as I'm just guessing until word comes out.

He had a 72 yard catch after what many are saying is a high ankle sprain??

Yup, thus the mystery of it all

Get your Tuckers ready .If Bucky goes down ,Tucker takes over his touches while White remains in his role.

Uhm...no. Absolutely no one is predicting that. If Tucker was going to take over, he would have done it two years ago.

I think he meant that if Bucky misses time they will have Tucker in Bucky's role and White would remain in the role he is currently playing. I don't think he meant that Tucker will take Bucky's spot if Bucky is healthy.

I’d like to believe that, but I’m not sure that will be the case. I think White would still get more rushed than Tucker.

 

[Proteus]

Check his Instagram. If he touches down in Munich or Hamburg, we're cooked.

It has always seemed, as I recall anyways, like they refuse to use Tucker much, unless both the top two backs are out.

Tucker will have a role for sure, but not the current 70% snap share Bucky owns.

I would tend to guess a 60/40 split in White's favor, maybe even 50/50, but I would rather have the pass catching back of the two if Bucky misses time.

Tucker's monster game last year was when White was out against the Saints. My guess is they will use Tucker to spell White if Bucky is out. Tucker wouldn't assume Bucky's workload.

I mentioned previously in the thread that Bucky wasn't likely to hold up with this kind of workload in the first place.

I assumed they were looking at his ribs, as he took a major shot late, where it looked like he got that wind knocked out of him, but maybe more. Ankle would be a surprise to me, as like he said, he was busting plays left and right after that happened.

I’ve seen players be able to perform on a gimp ankle just after it happens, but later it swells up. I’m not sure if that’s the problem however.

Man I'm sorry but there's no way someone with an ankle sprain that needs an MRI would be able to run 72 yards for a TD with no limp at all

I’m sure you’re probably right. I’m just saying people sometimes can continue to play on a sprained /twisted ankle before it swells later. I’ve even had that happen to me playing basketball back before the war. Then afterwards it swelled and I couldn’t even walk on it.

Some of the fantasy docs (e.g., Jess Morse) are saying that it might be his wrist. I didn’t see the game, but apparently he landed awkwardly on it during the fumble play. I guess that would jive with him still being able to play without any sort of a limp.

Regardless, if you own Jayden Daniels, you know these seemingly precautionary next day MRIs can bear bad news. So, pick up Sean Tucker during this week’s waiver run if you can.

We've reached the annoying part of this thread, haven't we.

 

[crushedspirit]

Honestly though, that play with an illegal hip-drop not flagged was called a fumble as well?

Al Bundy tore his ACL against Andrew Johnson High School in 1966 and still scored four tds.

Has there been nothing on this injury?

Trying to determine if Sean Tucker is worth going after.

I didn't understand that because I didn't think the ground could cause a fumble. The wrist (with the ball) clearly hit the ground causing the ball to come loose. I thought that would have been called a no fumble because of that (plus I thought his shin was down anyway).

My memory is that Donovan McNabb broke his leg and finished the game, his leg muscles were so strong they acted as a splint

 

[bolzano]

IMO no news is good news. If it was something super bad, I feel like the insiders like Schefty and Rapoport would’ve been all over it and something would’ve been reported by now. That said, I doubt we’ll get an update until they hit the practice field tomorrow. Today is basically a day off for them.

Yep, it's a very powerful hormone.

We've all heard the stories about people doing seemingly impossible things under the influence of adrenaline.

I thought he was down too, and its entirely possible if that play is ruled differently (correctly) that the Bucs beat Philly.

#Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving is still gathering medical opinions on what’s being termed an ankle and/or foot injury, sources tell me and @RapSheet. No one has ruled Irving out vs. the #Seahawks but he’s sore and his status is up in the air as the Bucs return to practice tomorrow.

This is the third straight year I have heard Tucker is taking over this backfield.

Very doubtful. I’d imagine it’s more like 70/30 in White’s favor.

I just think White can't get it done on the ground

Tucker may not either but White seems great in the current role

 

[LawFitz]

Tucker can do it all, except for pass block. Give him the rock. Bucky isn't the best at pass pro either. Neither is Jahmyr Gibbs. That hasn't stopped their success.

Yeah, agreed. But it could also be a hot hand scenario, and Tucker has some juice.

So he’s due?

 

[rockaction]

My opinion is White gets a lot of playing time. Baker is their guy. The Bucs now live or die with the idea that he's the running the show. We all know Todd Bowles. He is not going to leave him unprotected willfully. Bowles might screw it up because he gets fooled or doesn't foresee something, but not if he is aware of it. He will not take a risk, regardless of how much EPA it take away from his offense. He is not a prob/stat major. He does not care.

 

[bolzano]

According to Rick Stroud, one of the beat writers, Bucky was sporting a walking boot after the game. Amazing to me that this wasn’t picked up by the fantasy sites. It would’ve made WW decisions around White and Tucker a whole lot clearer.

They said during the game that the wrist doesn’t count, it has to be the forearm. Not enough video evidence to see if the shin was down. Go birds!

I don't think they are allowed to withhold injury information

They aren't required to disclose anything until his practice participation is affected

 

[kyoun1e]

Was hoping all this Bucky (and Benson) chatter would slip by most managers with waivers running this morning.

Managed to get S. Tucker in a couple of leagues and damnit, R. White was snagged in the one league he was on the wire.

He got rolled up on pretty bad on that play. Hip drop tackle btw, and his shin was definitely all the way down before his wrist hits.

Hope to see you guys again with a different set of officials and a healthier roster.

 

[TartanLion]

Sorry guys, traded for him dynasty just before the week 3 game, so probably my fault. Had been trying to snag Tucker all last week as some form of cover and didn’t get it done so that probably confirmed he’d get injured.

 

[Dizzy]

Anyone else got that sinking feeling that all the secrecy, second opinions, etc. are leading to something like a decision to "play through it" or get surgery (IR situation)?

I am not referencing him being down by contact. Forever the rule was the ground cannot "cause a fumble". The ground clearly was the reason he fumbled.

Also, as a slight difference I think the wrist is down but the hand is not. So if the back of the hand hit the ground you aren't down but who knows how they define where the hand changes to the wrist?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Does anyone know for sure what exactly his injury is?
I have more Bucky shares than any other player in the NFL this year, at least 5-6 teams he is one of the centerpieces, very disturbing how secret this is

 

[steelwind]

Let's see what the practice report says today.
If the designation is still "undisclosed" then something happened away from the football field.
Under NFL rules, it mandates that clubs must report on field injuries to provide the public + other teams an accurate picture of a player's status for their availability during game day.

The only scenario that a player's designation deviates from non field injury is a family death or birth of a child; to which they use "non injury related" or "personal matter".

Possibly career ending

What we know is... ankle/foot + MRI + second opinions... I don't think all the secrecy is about whether he practices today or if they should hold him out until Thursday.
